Sold my opened, but never played gimped PS3 copy of the game for $32 on eBay last night.

Thanks Bethesda *thumbs up*

I can't interpret this post. You sold for a loss without ever playing it?

Partially true.

Also, since I own a 360 now, there's really no reason to own a copy of an inferior product DLC and playbility-wise. Liiiike, why would I continue to own a casette version of Future Sex/Love Sounds by Justin Timberlake if I just bought a cd-player?

I mean, I want to play it, and I'm sure the $32 will pay for a platinum collection version of it down the line...and I have pretty much zero gaming time to devote to it.

So, Thanks TML *thumbs up* might have been more appropriate?

Hey now, kathode should be happy. I'll be buying TWO copies of the game!

I'm still on the fence about it. I rarely get extra content, unless I'm still playing the game. Since I play my games to death, I don't usually feel like revisiting them. The ability to level the character more is one of the reasons that I may get this at some point. There are probably other games that allow further character development in DLC, but I think it's the first one I've played. This could be one exception to my general "rule." Most likely it won't be Day One though.

I can't remember where I got this, but I had a copy and paste blurb in an email; it answers at least one of your questions (and I'm pretty sure the new level cap is 30) (see Kathode's post just below this on cap info):

Question: A lot of Fallout 3 players are going to be powered up and headshotting mutants left, right and centre by the time The Pitt arrives. How will you make it challenging for end-game players who are all powered up?

Answer: We've opted to make sure anyone who purchases this DLC will be able to enjoy it at any level. Players who come in with guns skill maxed at level 20 will find Raiders a bit more difficult then what they're used to encountering wandering the wastes. Not to mention the new enemies, Trogs, like to hunt in large packs!

I know you can't spill specifics, but can you reveal an estimated release date? As in ballpark?

Also, to potentially help the craving, for the anchorage DLC which I already have but have not played, do you accrue XP in the simulation?

Yeah I don't know what date they're targeting. I'm not on the DLC right now. Originally they were going to be spaced apart by about a month each, so figure about that amount.

You do accrue XP in Anchorage. I'd recommend to go ahead and play it anyway though. You still get the reward. XP isn't everything

It's still not up......anyone heard anything?

I don't believe it was supposed to be up until next week. Not sure where jztemple got his info from, but I haven't seen anyone on any other boards saying they got it, and Major Nelson hasn't posted anything.

I seemed to recall something from a month ago that they were targeting March 24th. I hadn't seen any mention of a delay, so I just assumed the DLC was still on that schedule. I guess if it comes out next Tuesday, that's still March...

I just started this one but I'm having trouble getting into it. The vault part was fine but as soon as I got out into the open world I found my will to play slipping away. It's just so huge and open ended!

Wow. Let us all know what the future is like!

Umm, yah - not only would next Tuesday still be March but it will also be March 24th.

Yeah, yeah, pick on the old guy because I misread the calendar, bunch of damn kids... get off my lawn!!!

I meant the Tuesday after that, the 31st. I've been at work hammering out two big operations that are occurring on the 23rd and 24th and I had gotten those dates locked into my brain. Just wait till you get older, you'll see, the first thing to go is remembering what day it is... no wait, that's the second thing to go

There's really solid mapping and arrow indicators of where to go and what not so give it time. It's SO awesome...

I'll be getting any DLC they put out. I can't get enough of the Fallout world.

I liked the simulator despite how easy it was. It was nice to see a different approach.

I didn't mind it and plan to get the other stuff. Hopefully they'll do more.

One interesting side note (well except for Kathode ) is that on a blog the producer for the DLC admits that Anchorage was originally supposed to be more of an RTS then a FPS. They apparently couldn't get it to work the way they wanted it to.

Roger: And you should know, I have no genitals.Syndey: That's alright. I have both.

I hit level 20 last night and now all progress on the game will stop much to my chagrin as I am loving it again.

I wish they would have made the extended level cap DLC the next one instead of the one after this. Surely the devs must know that people are close or already past the level cap...seems to be a no brainer to me.

Read the last few paragraphs of the blog entry Sarkus linked to, it will help explain why 'Broken Steel' is taking the most time to deliver.
